The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

On the positive side, there is some plot to these stories, even some setup that makes you think that there may even be some challenges for the MC or even the major side characters. However, the MC is so OP and so perfect in each situation that he pretty much curbstomps through every challenge. Well, it’s more that he massacres everyone in his way. As a result, any stakes and tension quickly evaporates.

The MC also changes very little as the story progresses. He does have a micro arc at the beginning as the “heavenly demon” takes over the body of a hapless noble scion who commits suicide. After that, it’s off to the races, where he massacres one opponent after another while showing very little emotion if at all.

It’s not quite the power fantasy of many Chinese wuxia manhua, but it’s not far off.
